Still in La Serena

SOOOO.......... Jacob, I need a drumroll right now...................

I
am still in La Serena. Nothing changed. Elder H** is still my comp
and we are working like usual. Haha the other companionship in the ward
changed. He's training a newbie. Haha it is funny watching him try to
communicate in Spanish because it reminds me of myself when I was
starting. Wow, and now almost one year later and I am still in my second
area. I'm okay with it though because I like this area and it's finally
waking u,p which has been the struggle from the start. So ya, all is
good.

Besides changes nothing else happened. Change weeks
are the weirdest weeks because at the beginning of the week everyone is
wondering about what is going to happen and the days go by really slowly
and then after the changes, the rest of the week goes by really fast. And
during that week you either teach a ton of people or no one at all.
Unfortunately for us we basically didn't teach this week. But it's okay
because we are starting to work a little differently because Pres K gave
us new guidelines for how he wants us to work. So we're starting with
that right now.

Basically nothing changed with our
investigators because, like I said, we didn't really teach this week. We
do know that lady has had some health and family problems
which is why she disappeared for a bit. We are also going to start
working with an old investigator again. I'm not sure if you all remember
him, but about 3ish months ago he accepted a baptismal date for this
first time but then his family (siblings and parents, not
children,grandchildren, or spouse) started to talk bad so he didn't get
baptized. Well, we know that he knows everything is true and that he
wants to get sealed in the temple because we were talking with his
daughter yesterday. So we are going to focus a bit more on him.
Hopefully we can help him overcome the fear of his family.

This week please do not walk into glass doors. One it's embarrassing and two.....no, it's just embarrassing.
